Abstract
BIM and VR are playing more and more important roles in architecture and engineering design, implementation, management and many other domains. With iceberg 3d structure layout design of an ocean park as example, this paper explores the application of VR and BIM technologies in complex construction projects. In the paper, the laser scanning technology, point cloud processing, BIM model creation based on the Revit software and the specific applications of VR technology are described and discussed.
